MILK-BOTTLE.

T0 all whom t may conc-em Be it known that I, WILLIAM STOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Passaic, in the county of Passaic and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Milk-Bottles, of which the following is a specii'ication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

rIhis invention relates to milk bottles and has special reference .to the closure therefor.

One of the objects of this invention is to provide a bottle that will admit the minimum amount of foreign matter to the' bottle when the bottle is open.

Another object of this invention is to provide a bottle that discharges its contents in a way that none of the same is lost by being discharged in an undesirable place or direction.

A still further object of this invention is to provide an improved means for holding the plug and stopper of the bottle in place.

`With these and other objects in View, this device consists in certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved bottle. Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken at right angles to Fig. 1. yFig. 3 is a perspective view of the clamping ring used with this bottle. Fig. t is a section taken on line 4 1, of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the securing wire used with this bott-le.

vF ig. 6 is a plan view of the blank from which the clamping ring is formed.

Referring to the parts by reference numerals 10 denotes a bottle having a neck 11 provided with a bead 12 and the ordinary opening 13. Positioned in the opening 13 is a stopper 14:, whichnis held in place by the wire 15 that has its end bent to form hooks 16 to engage the bead 12. In one side of the neck 11 is an opening 17 having beveled sides 18 and adjacent the lower edge Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led August 9, 1913.

of the opening 17 is a ledge or shoulder 19.

Positioned in the opening 17 is a plug 20` that has a beveled edge 21 to facilitate the placing of said plug in said opening and the plug is also provided with an outwardly projecting knob 22 on its outer face.

A clamping band 23 is adapted to pass around the neck 11, said band is provided with an aperture 24L which is adapted to admit the knob 22. Formed in one end of the band 23 is an elongated slot 25 which is adapted to receive the tongue 26 which is formed on the opposite end of the band 23 to hold the band on the bottle. It will be seen that this band 23 rests on the shoulder 19. When in use the band 23 is removed and the plug 2O is taken out of the opening 17 and the contents of the bottle are discharged through this opening. This side opening guides the contents as would a pitcher or When the contents are all discharged the stopper 14 is removed b ing the wire 15 ofi and the bottle' can be cleaned as is the ordinary milk bottle.

t is obvious that minor changes maybe made in the form and construction of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof. It is therefore not wished to confine the invention to the exact form herein shown and described, but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.

What is claimed is A bottle comprising a neck,y said neck provided with an opening in one yside thereof a plug carrying a knob on its outer face positioned in said opening, a band provided with an aperture passing around said neck and said knob fitting iny said aperture in said band for securely holding said plug in said opening.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence' of two witnesses.

WILLIAM STOCK.
